“Bogie, our 6 month old Maltese, loved staying with Shaquita! She a great communicator and care giver. Loved seeing all the pictures she sent. It eased our minds to know he was having so much fun.”
“Lisa was phenomenal with my dad’s german shepherd and very spirited poodle. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. Lisa really cares and thanks to her we didn’t worry about them during our trip! Thank you so much Lisa!”
“Meleah was GREAT. She sent updates and pics daily that help calm my nerves. My pup is a spoiled brat and she kept help happy, healthy, and well entertained. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I offer personalized pet sitting services tailored to your pet's unique needs, whether they're a playful puppy or a senior in need of extra care. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and managing special needs for older pets, I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away. I also prioritize regular updates and communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a work-from-home professional, my schedule offers flexibility, allowing me to balance both my professional responsibilities and providing attentive care for your pets. I structure my day to include regular breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding, ensuring your pets are not only well taken care of but also receive the companionship and attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday stroll or some quiet time together, I’m able to maintain a routine that keeps your pets happy and engaged while I work. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to each pet's needs. We have a large fully fenced yard, as well! I ensure they have their own cozy space, whether that’s a crate, bed, or designated area. Regular outdoor walks, playtime, and attention to their diet and routines are a priority. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation with toys and activities, and offer lots of affection and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them feeling secure. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care instructions you may have—whether it's administering medication, helping with training, or providing extra attention for senior pets. I always strive to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including playful puppies, large dog breeds, and cats with different personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, bathing, and socializing animals while keeping their comfort and safety a priority. I’ve also worked with rescue pets, giving them patient, gentle care to help them adjust and feel secure. Whether it’s reading canine body language or understanding a cat’s unique temperament, I take pride in providing compassionate, dependable care for every animal I work with. I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to work various shifts, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m dependable and always willing to adjust my hours to meet the needs of my clients. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment for both cats and dogs. My home is well-suited for supervised indoor play, relaxation, and care routines such as feeding, grooming, and socialization. While my yard does not have a fence, I ensure pets are always supervised and kept secure with leashes, harnesses, or indoor playtime. I take every precaution to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
About: I have one Aussiedoodle and one furrry cat. I would love to host your fur babies and make them feel at home while they’re away from home.

“Haley was fantastic with our cats. Gave me true peace of mind that they were being well taken care of while we were on vacation. She definitely has the magic touch because our cat who usually hides from strangers took to her right away. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I have cared for cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with both indoor cats and outdoor barn cats. Through years of hands-on care, I have become comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring cats are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also enjoy spending time playing with and giving attention to cats, understanding the importance of companionship and affection in their daily routine. My experience has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive to the individual needs and personalities of each cat.
“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”

“Angie did an awesome job taking care of our cats, fish, reptiles, and chickens. She communicated with us while we were gone, which was comforting. Will definitely use her again.”
“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”
“I am having trouble finding enough positive words to praise Hannah with the care of our cat! It was just one cat-but he’s spoiled and he damages things if he’s left alone for more than a night. We were gone longer than we’ve ever taken a vacation-11 days-and were very nervous. Hannah eased our minds, braved the frigid temps driving to our house, spent SUCH quality time with him (not just in to feed him and gone) went WAY above and beyond giving us more peace leaving our house too. We will travel now with so much more peace. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!”
“Bre did a great job taking care of our three cats! very friendly, good communication and thorough, it’s nice to know we have someone who cares taking care of our babies while we’re out of town!”
About: I come from a home who owed/bred dogs. I’ve always had a pet. I’ve dealt with puppies, kittens, raccoons, birds, iguanas, and fish. I do crate train as that’s what we do with our own puppies.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.
About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
“Maryann and Ronnie are both so sweet and caring! While they are a second sitter for us, we still love them just as much as our other! They both made sure I was kept up to date with snoopy and what he was doing and how he was doing. I also got plenty of pictures! Snoop got to play with their babies along with one of their regulars (which it was communicated their regular would be there) he came home and took a nap immediately! Would definitely reccomend them to anyone!”
“We loved receiving photos of her wagging her tail and smiling while she visited today. She is exhausted so we know she had fun. My husband insisted on tipping in cash! Thanks again!”
“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Absolutely perfect! When meeting with Hannah she was very polite and welcoming. She did a really good job at making sure her babies kept personal space with Snoopy and always watched them in the backyard. Communication was great and instructions on what she needed were very clear. She was so understanding when it came to my pickup time possibly changing due to my job. Hannah also made sure she asked all the important questions and was amazing with communication! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but Hannah did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving Snoopy in her care. We will absolutely be using services anytime we need help! (Bonus points for sharing pictures even while I was at work)”

About: I have had pets and cared for animals since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience with both indoor and outdoor animals. Growing up on a farm allowed me to work closely with a variety of large animals as well as young and baby animals, helping me develop a strong understanding of animal care and responsibility. I am experienced in feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with animals while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My lifelong experience around animals has made me dependable, patient, and attentive to the unique needs and personalities of each pet. I am a third grade teacher and have a plenty of time off in the summers! I love animals and would love to have a part in taking care of your furry babies. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of acreage, and live on a safe drive with very minimal traffic. I take my dog for walks daily on our drive and we play in my backyard to get all of our energy out! I also can crate animals indoor and/or out with an extra large kennel in our fenced in yard!
About: I am so excited for the opportunity to care for your baby! I’ve had a dog, cat, or both since I was little, so I know what it means for fur babies to be family and to want them loved, safe, and well cared for when you’re away. Please shoot me a message if you have any questions at all before booking. I can’t wait to meet and take good care of your pet! I have taken care of pets, including dogs, cats, goats, chickens, sheep, cows, and horses for 25+ years. I have always had a pet of my own who I was responsible for since I was in first grade. I’ve had to provide medical care to a lame prior racing horse— cleaning, washing, and applying bandages and medicine to his foot while his owner was out of the country. I’ve also cared long-term for my elderly chihuahua, Bungee, who took medication for congestive heart failure and for my elderly cat, Jaq, with renal failure who had to be hand-fed for a few months before she passed. I currently have a large white dog, Caliber (Lab/Pyrenees mix), who was a rescue, a Pyrenees puppy who stays with and guards my chickens, a sweet, black collie-like rescue named Sirius, and outdoor cats and kittens which have been strays we have not turned away. Caliber and Sirius are in and out of the house dog and stay wherever they want— in our temperature controlled garage with a fence-less perimeter around our home due to the road and creek proximity, the living room, or the back deck overlooking the creek. Caliber has his own tempurpedic mattress and enjoys long days snuggling daddy’s feet in his office (my husband works remotely). The cats are used to animals of all kinds and know to keep distance on days I board a potentially cat-aggressive pup. I currently have a lot of flexibility as a mostly stay-at-home mom and I work PRN (as needed). Because I’m typically at am home with my children, I am very available to care for your babies well and give them all the love they need. I do enjoy trips with my family out of town and occasionally have busy seasons with local engagements, but I communicate well and will be very clear about my availabilities to make sure it work with your needs and that of your pet(s). As long as the pet isn’t aggressive, I am very comfortable caring for your baby for you in the comfort of your own home. I always enjoy meeting my new friends before their human(s) leave to make sure to give them time to get to know me and feel comfortable with my presence. It’s a joy to drop in and see how excited some pets get for a little company while their humans are gone. I enjoy walking, so I’m always up for a peppy (or slow) walk with your baby. My pup adores other dogs and loves having friends over, but can also be kept in the office or temperature controlled attached 2-car garage to provide ample space for your pet as we come outside if need be. I have space to crate your pup or cat if that works best for your needs as well. On my property I have a large, unfenced yard and can take your pet for wonderful walks in the grass and alongside the creek with me.

About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. I grew up with a large dog and have a huge desire to train and give love and attention to all dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in on your dog 2-3x a day and work with them on training, and take them on walks to wear them out mentally and physically. No care provided in my home at this time. I can come to your house and provide walking, attention, and training there during times that are best.
About: I have had 2 dogs of my own for 7 years. My sweet pups get pampered at home, so I would to share some love with other dogs around town while I have some extra time on my hands. I also have experience dog sitting for friends & family, but would love to expand to help new families! I am a teacher, so my afternoons and weekends are wide open! I’d love to spend some of my free time with your sweet animals. My pets have comfort, safety, and fun in my home. It is so important to keep my animals as happy and healthy (physically and mentally) as can be, because they help me be the best version of myself with their companionship.
About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a lifelong background caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets, different temperaments, and unique care needs. I also have several years of veterinary experience, which means I’m confident administering medications, monitoring health, and providing safe, attentive care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Currently I am a college student and I work at barktown part time when school is in and full time when school is out. So I do maintain a busy schedule, but always have time to stop in and love on your sweet fur babies! I have been around pets with a wide range of temperament. This means I know how to enter and exit your home safely if you have a fur baby who likes to run, I wake up daily at 6am to give my babies their breakfast and they get their dinner at 8pm. This also sets me up to be able to adapt to your feeding schedule for your babies. I also adore getting to know the anxious babies. Taking my time and letting them warm up to me is something I pride myself on. Theres something so rewarding about gaining their trust!
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches

Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

About: I have a special place in my heart for animals. Where I live they have plenty of room to run and play and be safe. I'm currently working part time and have ample amount of free time to take care of your pet's. My husband has shed/duck dogs, so I am well versed in caring for different breeds. I have a giant yard in a small neighborhood back in the woods with plenty of space to roam and have a good ole time.
“I recently used Brooke to keep my cat, Lupin! She was incredibly attentive and sent me multiple updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She went above and beyond and I genuinely feel like she treated my cat as her own!”
“Amanda and her family did an awesome job with Max during his 8 night stay with them. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures of Max. I really really appreciate the level of care he received and will definitely use them in the future!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including playful puppies, large dog breeds, and cats with different personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, bathing, and socializing animals while keeping their comfort and safety a priority. I’ve also worked with rescue pets, giving them patient, gentle care to help them adjust and feel secure. Whether it’s reading canine body language or understanding a cat’s unique temperament, I take pride in providing compassionate, dependable care for every animal I work with. I have a flexible and open schedule, which allows me to work various shifts, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m dependable and always willing to adjust my hours to meet the needs of my clients. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment for both cats and dogs. My home is well-suited for supervised indoor play, relaxation, and care routines such as feeding, grooming, and socialization. While my yard does not have a fence, I ensure pets are always supervised and kept secure with leashes, harnesses, or indoor playtime. I take every precaution to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet.

Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
